Carl
Barks got ideas for his comic book stories from a multitude of
sources, but perhaps the most interesting source was Literature.
Barks often used ideas from books as parts of plots for his
stories. As you will see from the sub-pages, he made good use of
many different types of literature, but it is important to
emphasize that the resulting stories were definitely his own.
The selected stories are just a few examples from a large
collection of literary influenced stories. They have been roughly
divided into 4 groupings with 10 in each group mentioned in
chronological order. You will probably miss some stories and
perhaps some characters - such as the recurring Santa Claus - but
all in all you will get a pretty good idea of how Barks conceived
many of his ideas and how he transformed them to fit into his
duck universe.
